FEMA and KIRO-AM Seattle will unveil a new Emergency Broadcast Studio. The facility, upgraded to continue broadcasting under all conditions, is one of 77 across the United States.

Bonneville Seattle’s KIRO-AM 710 upgrade will give the station the resiliency to continue broadcasting under all conditions, including natural disasters and acts of terrorism. The facility is part of a National Public Warning System Primary Entry Point (PEP) station, participating with FEMA to provide emergency alert and warning information to the public before, during and after incidents and disasters.

KIRO-AM is the 14th station in the country to work with FEMA to complete the all-hazards upgrade, which includes increased sheltering capabilities, expanded broadcast capacity, and sustainable power generation for all types of hazardous events.
